Bulgaria: Strategic location and emerging regional leader

A more mature Bulgarian marketplace is attracting American companies in record numbers. And it is not just the large companies with a higher tolerance for risk coming to Bulgaria to do business. More opportunities have come with the EU and NATO membership and smaller U.S. firms – the engine of economic growth in the United States – are finding their way here.

Bulgaria is more competitive in the EU with American technology and know-how, especially in agriculture, energy, healthcare, ICT and water sectors. EU means Bulgaria is now part of the U.S. – EU trade relationship with over $ 2.7 billion of goods and services exchanges each day. The TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) currently in negotiation will bring greater U.S. trade and investments with this new relationship and start an upward trend leading to greater opportunities for bilateral economic and commercial cooperation in Bulgaria.
